Dragonhawk1066 Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 Just finished up with build #6 on the year. This one is the Lindberg '34 Ford Roadster Pickup 1/24 scale (although it looks more like 1/25). The paint is Testors One Coat Mystic Emerald and I used Model Master Leather for the seat and steering wheel. I also de-chromed all of the plated parts and painted them Flat Black. I used the decals from the Monogram '41 Willys Street Rod kit since I didn't use them on that kit, and I added plug wires to the engine. There was lots of flash and the plating was not very good on my particular kit, and even though it is a 3 in 1 with an extra frame and 3 back end choices there's not that many parts to the kit, so it was a pretty basic build. Despite those short-comings everything fit together really well. The only problem I had was at final assembly the body tub just didn't want to sit flush on the frame, despite several test fits throughout the build, so I probably just bent or twisted the frame sometime during final assembly. I don't think that it's noticeable and overall I am very happy with how this one turned out, even though I forgot to sand down the sink marks and some part numbers before painting that are visible after assembly. This was a fun little kit and went together pretty quickly once everything was painted and ready to go. Thanks for looking and Happy Modeling!
Vincent631 Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 Cool, I like the green with black. I've never built a Lindberg kit, this one turned out great!
Dave Darby Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 Very nice job on a very under appreciated kit. A little tidbit; The engine in that kit (except for valve covers and incorrect headers) is a note for note crib from the original issue AMT 32 Ford Roadster hemi engine.
geetee66 Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 Sweet! You did a great job on it. Colour suits it ?
Snake45 Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 Different and therefore interesting. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before! Well done and model on!

I agree one doesn't see this kit done very often.

I love the colors of the One Coat Lacquers and the paint goes on quite well out of the can. On 10/14/2018 at 9:11 AM, Snake45 said: Different and therefore interesting.
